New Series Alert: Telemundo To Debut First Turkish Drama Cennet: The Power Of Destiny Across Africa This October

eExtra's Kuiertyd launched in 2018 featuring shows like Elif, Dokter Ali and Gebroke Harte. Since then, the brand had garnered so much popularity that MultiChoice rolled out its first competitor to the brand on kykNET & Kie. It was only a matter of time till more broadcasters would follow.

Apparently, NBCUniversal had acquired rights to the 2017 Turkish drama Cennet for the Telemundo channel in Africa. Handled by Eccho Rights, this news doesn't come as a surprise as Telemundo has an original series based within Istanbul in development.

And also the main feed of the channel had been licencing numerous Turkish dramas so it was only a matter of time till Africa would adapt to what's seen in America. As mentioned during the year, the channel doesn't have much original content in the pipeline and this is due to the actors strike and much implemented streamlining attempts.

NBCUniversal has been cutting costs across their brands that E! has to rely on content from Bravo to go by their day and Universal had always commissioned first run shows and now similar to Comedy Central would just look at what's already available in the market.

At this rate, I wouldn't be surprised if Days Of Our Lives were to resurface on the Spanish channel seeing as both Telemundo and Days are managed by NBCUniversal and with the channel's constant repeat slumber it would help build up primetime and give them an edge with existing rivals.

Synopsis for Cennet:

Cennet was abandoned as a baby, and has struggled bravely through life, desperate for the motherly love she has missed out on. Brought up by her grandmother, Cennet has little in her life apart from her best friend. However, an accident breaks them apart and he vanishes from her life.

Based on the Korean drama series Tears Of Heaven, it stars Almila Ada, Berk Atan, Esra Ronabar and Yusuf Akgün.
